Medium Rigid Driving Lesson

Medium Rigid Truck Driving Lesson

Medium Rigid Trucks are a classification of truck with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GMV) between 8,001 kilograms and 15,000 kilograms and a single chassis that does not articulate in the middle like an articulated truck or semi-trailer. 

Medium rigid trucks are suitable for tasks that require more load-carrying capacity than light rigid trucks but don't require the capacity of heavy rigid trucks. They are commonly used for urban and regional distribution, as well as for applications like furniture removal and other medium-sized cargo transport needs.
